The issue was likely limited to whether or not the mandate was constitutional. Unless they were briefed on the effect of the ruling and they were asked to specifically overturn the entire 2200 pages of legislation, then I don't think it would have been proper for this court to void the entire bill. Thank you for the explanation.
I'm assuming it's a slam dunk that the whole bill is voided once a law suit is brought, after a part of the bill has already been ruled unconstitutional.

No idea but theres no way he lets the one thing he did for the left go down in flames. He’s failed on pretty much every other campaign promise. This is his ‘signature’ program. Just because it won’t pay for itself doesn’t mean he won’t try and enforce the rest regardless.

They were ruling on a lower court ruling that said the whole bill was unconstitutional. By leaving the balance of the law alone they in essence did rule on severability.

Implied????? I thought the severability clause was specifically highlighted by a lower court judge and the ruling was that because there was not a severability clause written into the signed law, if any portion of it was found to be unconstitutional, it all was that way. What kind of flim flam are they trying to pull now? I realize they think they are above the law, but what is really needed is for the rigged Supreme Court to say it.

Some courts have upheld it others struck it down. What’s so significant about this ruling?

Question - the ruling’s not necessarily final is it? Obama can still appeal to the full appeals court instead of a 3-judge partial panel. What does that mean?
To: All
finally someone actually applied common sense and actual written law into a decision.

S&P downgraded us due to entitlements above all things and this is a major entitlement added to our debt. I would think that also would be considered in any decision made.

Hey i don’t wear black robes. The original ruling threw out the whole law. This left part intact. They could have upheld the original ruling. The fact that they didn’t means that they did indeed rule on severability.

If the Supreme Court strikes down Obamacare, I bet the markets jump up 2000 points in a week.
